There have been a lot of changes since the season began, so it's time to circle back and see how the players rank now as if you're doing a midseason draft. The same assumptions that we had before the start of the season apply here - we're looking at a standard 12-team, 5x5 mixed league with trading allowed. To qualify at a position, the player needs 20 games there last year or 10 this year. Our hypothetical league starts two catchers. Midseason ranks are tricky, because we're dealing with a lot more existing injuries, and player value in roto-style leagues is so much more contextual. Nonetheless, we forge ahead.
